Round earrings at Longvé are huggies in 14 karat gold
The round earrings in this collection are all made as huggies: small, close-fitting rings that sit snugly against the earlobe rather than hanging loose. They come in 14 karat gold and 14 karat white gold, and several variants have set diamonds, either natural or lab-grown. What they have in common is the round shape and the closed silhouette, which makes them well suited to being worn all day without catching in hair or clothing. If you want to see the full range of the round ring shape, you'll find it gathered under huggies, and the very simple variants without stones under tiny huggies and small huggies.
Tiny, Small and Medium determine how much the ring takes up
The size of a huggie isn't about your ear size, but about how large a ring you want to wear. Tiny is the smallest and sits closest to the earlobe, Small is slightly larger, and Medium is the most pronounced of the three without becoming an actual hoop. If you want a discreet ring for everyday wear, tiny huggies is an obvious place to start. If the ring should be a little more visible, or if you want to wear it alongside other earrings, medium huggies give more presence. All three come in both gold and white gold, so the choice of size and metal are two independent decisions.
Small round gold earrings for daily wear
If you're looking for small round earrings you can wear constantly, the smallest huggies are designed for exactly that. They are light, close snugly around the earlobe and don't bother you during sleep or on the phone. In 14 karat gold they have a warm tone that suits most skin tones, and the gold doesn't tarnish, so they can stay in during showers and workouts. If you want a little sparkle without moving away from the clean, round shape, they are also available with a single diamond, as in tiny diamond huggies. You can also see the entire selection of round gold earrings in gold under gold earrings.
Round earrings with diamond rather than completely plain
Several of the round earrings have set diamonds along the ring or on the front. They come in two versions of the setting: bezel, where the diamond is enclosed by a rim of metal, and prong, where it is held by small claws that let in more light. The bezel setting sits low and smooth and is practical if the ring is to be worn daily, while the prong setting lets the stone stand more freely. If you want to compare the two, you'll find them under bezel jewellery and prong jewellery. Some of the diamonds are lab-grown, that is, grown in a laboratory with the same physical properties as natural diamonds. The selection of these can be found under lab-grown diamonds.
Gold or white gold for the round shape
All the round earrings come in both 14 karat gold and 14 karat white gold, and the choice is purely aesthetic. Gold gives a warm, classic tone, while white gold is cool and silver-coloured and often highlights a diamond more clearly, because the metal doesn't add colour to the stone. White gold is an alloy of gold and white metals and has the same durability as gold of the same karat. If you're unsure what white gold actually is, you can read more in the article what is white gold. You'll find the entire collection of round earrings in the cool tone under white gold.
Single earring or pair
Some of the round earrings are sold both as a single piece and as a pair. This is practical for two reasons: if you have several piercings in the same ear, you can combine two different huggies, and if you lose one, you can replace just that one without buying a new set. If you want to build a look with several rings in the same ear, you can combine sizes, for example a Tiny and a Small, or mix a plain ring with one with a diamond. The products are labelled "Single" or "Pair", so you can see what the price covers before you add to cart.
14 karat gold doesn't tarnish and withstands everyday life
14 karat gold consists of 58.5 percent pure gold alloyed with other metals that make it strong enough for daily use. Real gold doesn't rust or tarnish, and therefore the round earrings don't become matte or discoloured, even if they stay in during showers, hand washing or workouts. If over time your earrings become a little dull from skin oils and soap residue, they can be polished up again with a soft cloth. If, on the other hand, you experience that cheap earrings turn black, this is typically due to base metals, and the background is explained in why do my earrings turn black. You'll find more general guidance on cleaning under how to clean earrings.
How to build further on the round earrings
If you want to assemble a matching set, the round huggies can be combined with other jewellery in the same metal. A pair of diamond huggies suits, for example, a simple chain or a bracelet in the same gold tone. You'll find the selection of matching necklaces under necklaces, and if you want to see jewellery that is already put together to go in a set, it's found under matched jewellery. If you're looking for a gift and want to stay within a certain amount, you can narrow down the selection via gifts under DKK 2,000.
